About This Text
Composed: c.1911 CE
These records are an appendix in Max Farrand’s three volume work, Records of the Convention, containing letters written by delegates to the convention, speeches delivered in state ratifying conventions, and later writings by these delegates about the proceedings of the Convention. These records include documents from 1787 to 1834, offering both contemporaneous reactions to the process of framing the Constitution and later reflections on operating within the constitutional system. Many documents shed light on arguments made about drafting the constitution, including disagreements among the delegates.
